Abstract: In today’s dynamic threat landscape, the one constant element persistently targeted is the human link, often because it is the weakest link in the security chain. Attackers constantly and relentlessly focus on exploiting this vulnerability to gather information and launch their assaults. Social engineering relies on psychological tactics to gain unauthorized access to data or systems, posing significant risks to individuals and organizations. This webinar aims to understand the significance and impact of social engineering on security, examining how attackers exploit psychological principles to manipulate people and gain access. It also highlights the common techniques, tactics, and procedures (TTPs) used in social engineering and the crucial role a well-rounded security culture plays in defense. Join us for an informative session to deepen your understanding of the human factor in cybersecurity and discover how to protect yourself against these threats!
